Like boobs, having 2 cams(hafts) is better than one, says the aspiring future mechanic. :)
 
My name is Brad but all my friends call me Bear because I was always the hairiest out of everyone back in the day. When I finally got around to playing online the name bradbear was taken. I am fascinated by the Halo stories and chose 117 because that's Master Chiefs call sign/name. John-117. So, bradbear117.
 
Mister 44 is a ref to a song by the Electric Hellfire Club (there's a link to the video in the "What are you listening to" thread). It refers to Dave Berkowitz aka the Son of Sam aka the .44 killer. My avatar is also a pic of him. I'm not a fan of Dave (he actually scares the sh*t out of me, to be honest) but I really like the song and the avatar fits. It is also easy to manipulate with little extras like the shades I am currently wearing.
 
Venom
Spidys enemy always seemed to identify with him loved how dark he is , been using it forever most popular sites online Venom is me or some variation of Venom sometimes VenomD the D from Dante devil may cry (i was just lazy so choose that)
 
Mephisto - the shortened Mephistopheles (the devil in Faust by Goethe).

Helix - added that bit because it refers to the bad we all have in us: Devil inside basically.
 
I've always been Viper... loved the car's design... and tv show from my school days. Oh, and the name looks / sounds cool to me.
However, since Viper is usually taken, I decided to add the GTI since that's pretty much all I drive... Started with a Golf 2 "GTI" and have driven every version of it since. I only missed the Golf 1, but the mk1 never really appealed to me.
 
I've been MalicE in the gaming world and the interweb since college. Think I got it from an old movie called Malice, looked up the meaning, liked it, owned it :D

Before MalicE I had 3 gaming tags. Ravenous for RPGs, Shellshock for FPS, and Roadkill for racing games.
 
Hmm...can't remember when I got S1ght but I was playing a lot of FPS back then so thought in terms of a Sniper Scope/Sight.
 
Back in 1995 ,before google was cool, I made myself a Yahoo username. Orko was the little ghost from the He-Man animated series and apparently back then it was already taken , so added the za and it stuck.
 
i got my name in High school. I started PC gaming and lans around 2002. I had the name RareHunter (comes from the card game Yu-gi-oh. I played it back in the day along with Magic) But i did not like it i was hopping around names till around the 2005 year mark. I was at a school event and i wrote 2005 in the sand. My one friend said " What dose Zloc mean ? " Thats when i got the name from.

I used ZloC for a long time then i played a MMORPG game and started with a wizard class. I was unhappy with its play style at the time so i made a new DPS character, but i could not use the name ZloC due to it being taken by the wizard. Not thinking i deleted the wizard hoping i could reuse the name, sadly that was not the case in any game so i placed a 1 with the L to be renamed as Z1OC been using the name ever since. some games im forced to use ZLOC and not Z1OC due to them not allowing numbers in the game name.
 
My name starts with an N followed by a D, but the N is half-pronounced, so my friends would forego the N entirely which pretty much led them to nicknaming me Dee (some would go as far as DD).

I also used to hang out with all sorts of groups back in high school, and within those groups I was pretty much the most chilled, a bit opinionated but chilled, so they dubbed me a Saint amongst them.

So, when I eventually started writing poetry (and rap back when), sketching, and making music digitally, I already had my art moniker waiting for me; Saint Dee:D.
 
Forgot to mention my old usernames which were Merenwenrago and Inuyashaa.

Merenwen was apparently a name of a Nightelf I randomly generated on a website to use for WoW and decided to use it elsewhere and rago sounded nice with it, until I changed to Ichigo.

Inuyashaa was my first ever username since I liked Inuyasha the wolf guy from the anime this was before 2006 then started WoW after that in 2007 I think.
 
Mine started back in the 90's late 80's gaming at caffee's. Used to use your real name and _ace behind on the leader board and then just shortened it to R4C3
 
I thought it would be funny to have missile instead of mistle. In retrospect I should gone with TOW instead of toe. That would have been even more awesome. Life is filled with regrets. It's not even Christmas. What the hell was I thinking?

Pity there aren't many females here to use that with.
 
My nick got shortened from MacTavish. Started with a letter addressed to me with this surname. Wasn't anything like my real name, but it stuck with the mates and got shortened to McT over time.
 
Havoc because I'm usually surrounded by chaos - or more accurately it feels like everything is chaotic. Also, Shakespeare reference.

Sphere - see surrounded above. As in the zone around me. I also use Sphere on its own in some instances. Geometrically it is essentially the perfect shape. I like things that have a clean & have simple elegance to it, specifically elegance in the mathematical sense.

The "X" - primarily to make the name unique world wide. My previous nick was very common & that makes it difficult to establish an online identity untarnished by the actions of others. Also phonetically the X creates a "Vox" in the middle of name, which is appropriate since I spent quite a bit of time as a sound tech (volunteer work) - Vox being Latin for voice.
